Video games are a great way to have fun with your girlfriend. The key is to find games that she would like because once she is hooked it will be easier for her to get into other games. Here is how to get your girlfriend to play video games.
| 1. | Find out if your girlfriend has ever played video games before. She might not be a full blown gamer, but maybe she played Mario games when she was younger. Or maybe she likes playing an Internet game from time to time. If you know her gaming history, you'll have a better chance of finding a game she'll enjoy now. |
| 2. | Pick out a game she might like. If you're not 100% sure she'll enjoy it, you can rent it. Many girls will actually like games with cute characters or a lot of humor immediately. Make sure the game isn't too hard. If you can, get a game that is multiplayer or, optimally, co-op. |
| 3. | Have fun when you play with her. If you make it a good time she will enjoy it, even if she's not that "into games". As she keeps playing, she will get better and may enjoy the game itself. |
| 4. | Eventually, she may want to try more advanced games. This is not a given, though. She may become a pwnzor at Mario but never want to pick up a shooter. If you want her to play games like that, try getting her to play co-op with you. You may be able to "ease" her into these kinds of games, especially if she can play with you instead of against you (though she may get a kick out of blowing you away in Halo). |
| 5. | If you can get a girl who started out with no interest in video games to enjoy a co-op shooter, you've done well, exceedingly well. Eventually she may play multiplayer with you, or even against you. Maybe. |
| 6. | Be understanding and supportive. When she first starts out, tell her that it easy, that she will catch on. Make her feel like this is something that she can do. |
| 7. | Teach her how to uncramp her hands, because they will get tired during her first few sessions. Show her how you usually stretch out your hands, because if she equates video games with sore and stiff hands, she won't want to play any more. |
